Gabor Gasztonyi Studio & Gallery is pleased to announce a new exhibition: Hastings: A Second Look, a featured exhibit for the Capture Photography Festival 2017. Opening night April 6th, 2017. Exhibition runs to May 13, 2017.

The book, A Room in the City (Anvil Press) published in 2010, reveals a six-year journey into the hotel rooms of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
